Mustard

Neogen’s rapid tests for mustard can screen samples, or provide fully quantitative results in the range of 2.5 to 25 ppm mustard in clean-in-place rinses, environmental samples or food products, such as spices, sauces, dressings and meats.

Food allergens are proteins in food that can create an immune response in sensitive individuals, and mustard protein is a known food allergen. Once ingested, mustard proteins can cause a number of reactions, ranging in severity from hives and itching to anaphylaxis. Testing for the presence of mustard components ensures food manufacturers that an unlabelled—and potentially dangerous to some consumers—ingredient does not make its way into a food product.

Neogen’s Reveal® 3-D for Mustard lateral flow tests make it simple to screen for the presence of low levels of allergens in clean-in-place rinses and environmental swabs virtually anywhere. Sample preparation and testing take less than 10 minutes.

Neogen’s Veratox® for Mustard kits are quantitative tests that compare up to 19 samples at a time against test controls. Through the use of a microwell reader, the tests provide accurate sample results in parts per million (ppm).
